Building Timeless Tools

In a world where software becomes obsolete faster than ever, there’s something beautiful about creating tools that stand the test of time.

The Philosophy

The key to building timeless tools lies in simplicity and focus. When we strip away the unnecessary features and concentrate on core functionality, we create something that remains relevant regardless of technological trends.

Practical Principles

1. Single Purpose: Each tool should do one thing exceptionally well
2. Minimal Dependencies: Reduce external dependencies to avoid breaking changes
3. Clean Interfaces: Simple, intuitive designs that don’t require learning curves
4. Privacy First: Respect user data and minimize collection

The Result

Tools built with these principles don’t just survive technological changes—they thrive. They become reliable companions in our digital lives, trusted solutions that we can depend on year after year.

This is why I’m building OldasWeb: a collection of small, focused tools designed to age gracefully.
